I can't say whether you should care, since I don't know you. The title comes from people assuming I am, given my work, and from my philosophical dissatisfaction with modern Buddhist ideas. If you care about Buddhism in today's world, then I'd say, yes, you should care.

E.g., if you think Buddhism is a rational-empirical religion (or not really a religion); that science shows there is no self, so Buddhists are right; or that awakening is a nonconceptual state, then you may want to read the book to find out why, in my view, those ideas are wrong

I have no argument with anyone who wants to light incense for the Buddhas. That's not my target. By the same token, I have no argument with anyone who wants to pray facing Mecca. The book defends religious pluralism.
